Hey everyone, i really need help in choosing between 2 macbook air models. The first is 2011 i7 1.8 model with 256ssd and the other is 2012 i5 1.8 model with 126ssd. Now i will be using it for web browsing, word editing, some occasional photo/video editing maybe, and some games (DOTA 2, nothing extravagant). I need your help and fast, deciding whether to get the older model for increased storage or will the 2012 model be better somehow (i think it has an improved gpu or something?). Both are used, 13 inch and 4 GB RAM, can't find any with 8 :/...

I can't buy from apple store because i live in Serbia so the choice is really between the two models from the post, i set DOTA 2 as the most graphically intensive task i expect it to perform, i think both will manage everyday tasks great...

If price between 2 models is comparable, I would go with 2011. 256GB will give you enough room bring only the mba without additional external disk (and mouse and charger) most of the time. That would be very compact and gives you more flexibility. Moreover, it seems you don't plan to run heavy tasks with the machine.
